The Legendary Man

Chapter 97 What A Joke

Following Connor’s murmur of Jonathan’s name, everyone’s gazes were instantly riveted on the latter.

Glimpsing Connor’s face that was flaming bright red, Jonathan shook his head and drawled placidly, “Who said that the lavender jade figurine is a counterfeit?”

“Me!” Ezra stepped forward with a snort. “Don’t tell me you could really buy a genuine lavender jade figurine with a hundred grand?”

“Of course not.” Glancing at him blithely, Jonathan amended, “I bought it at three hundred million.”

Three hundred million?

When the crowd heard that figure, chaos again broke out among them.

Three hundred million is precisely the price from the auction by the Hansley family last night! Could it be that he was the mysterious guest at the auction last night?

Ezra burst into laughter upon hearing that Jonathan bought it at three hundred million. “You must have lost your mind, huh, Jonathan? Three hundred million? Would you be able to fork out such an astronomical sum even if you were to sell yourself? That aside, could you even come up with three million?”

Perhaps others will be taken in by him, but he can’t possibly fool me. I know better than anyone the kind of person he is! He’s just a worthless deadbeat! If it weren’t for the Smith family supporting him back then, he would’ve been killed ages ago! Yet, he’s speaking of three hundred million? I’m afraid that he won’t even be able to come up with three hundred grand!

Eyeing him nonchalantly, Jonathan declared, “Is three hundred million an astronomical sum? That might be the case for you, but a mere three hundred million to me is nothing in exchange for a smile from Josephine.”

Hearing that, Ezra couldn’t help sneering, “In exchange for a smile? Who do you think you are? An eloquent poet with a glib tongue? Apart from your bragging skills that have skyrocketed, you haven’t improved much in the few years since I last saw you, Jonathan! A mere three hundred million, you said? I’m afraid that you’ll never have the opportunity to see that much money in your lifetime!”

It wasn’t just him, for almost every member of the Smith family regarded Jonathan with the exact same look in their eyes.
